Hi there all. I'm looking for a place in-state (ideally near Lafayette, LA) that provides ketamine therapy. My psychiatrist and I have recently started discussing ketamine in response to my incredibly treatment resistant depression. I've tried at least 15 medications (excluding all the cocktails lol) in the span of about 9 years now, so I'd say I'm honestly at my wits end with the pills not helping.

As it stands, I don't know a ton about ketamine assisted therapy. I know that there's Spravato and then there's infusions, but I don't really know how they differ. I also don't know how long treatment usually takes. I see a lot of places online saying between 5-9 sessions, but how does that truly work? Let's say I do 9 infusions. Then what, exactly...? Am I cured lol, or do I have to continue for another 9 sessions... then another 9... and another 9... get my drift?

Sorry to ramble. It's just a lot. I appreciate any advice or recommendations. TYIA.

Hi everyone! I have a quick question for any terrarium/vivarium/aquarium keepers here.

Where do you guys get your supplies? I was searching for a fish store (for driftwood & stones), however it seems like all the ones I knew of around Lafayette are now permanently closed.

Again, I’m mainly looking for decor - although it would be super awesome if there’s a local place I can buy springtails/isopods too. Petco & Petsmart allegedly have them, but I’m not incredibly confident with their quality. I tried checking “LA Pet Emporium”, but it would seem they’re currently in the process of moving locations. If anyone has other suggestions of where to look, I’d really appreciate it! TYSMIA!! :)

Hi all! Wanted to ask here if anyone else had any experience with night sweating. It doesn’t wake me during the night anymore, but I’m usually drenched by morning. We keep it pretty cool in the house at night (usually like 67°F). I also use a weighted blanket so that I don’t beat my poor boyfriend to death in my sleep (I’ve been told I’m a kicker, doesn’t stop the talking though lol!). Even when I did use lighter covers though, I’d sweat like I ran a marathon overnight. Eventually I wind up freezing too because me and my clothes are now soaked, and it’s cold af!

I’m on a cocktail of meds + supplements, but I highly suspect it’s Auvelity or Vraylar doing it in my case. I’ve been on them the longest, and I’ve been sweating since I can remember. I plan to ask my psychiatrist next visit (a week), but was curious if anyone else has dealt with this too. Thanks in advance!

TLDR: if you have/had night sweats, what do you do about it?
